  • I've pulled together ALL of the worst crashes I've ever had on my mountain bikes, in my entire MTB career. It's actually crazy to see how many things I've messed up so badly over the years, backflips, double backflips, 720's and even just riding downhill or enduro tracks. But crashing is kind of important so enjoy the carnage!!

    I’ve got to tell you about my 1988 crash. I was a1st cat velodrome sprinter. Sponsored by British Airways, put in a road race! A little history, I would commonly brake rear wheels, frames, pedals and even a seat post!!!
    So my crash, I managed to snap a crank during a road race and split my left knee open to a point where my bone was sticking out!
    My first reaction was “wow” that’s my bone! And then pain kicked in!
    Love your show Matt!!

    I remembered my first worst crash back in 2012. Was riding a hardtail enduro bike doing streets. Jumped from 2nd floor to mid level of a staircase, back of my bike bounce up so high where my front was facing the floor at a 60 degree angle and crashed. The impact was so hard that my front tire burst, rim and spokes crushed, crankarm bend inwards to the frame, seat post broken and the saddle flew off. Worst part was I landed on my left knee that it turned my kneecap into jelly form. I couldn't walk properly for 3 months. But was back into riding after 2 months. Until now i can't kneel on my left knee due to sharp pain.

    I have a grade 5 AC separation thanks to riding a downhill on a hardtail, lol glad I'm not the only one that does crazy stuff here and there... Now i'm headed for surgery, but can't wait to recoup and get back on the bike!

    I am a total noob and crashed on a knee-high tabletop and it hurt. Seeing how you crashed I can't imagine how bad this must have felt
